This year, Berlin's Berlinale opened with "No Good Men," a Kabul-set drama about a camerawoman fighting for respect.
Other festival highlights explore love against the odds, from "Women as Lovers" to the queer stories "Black Burns Fast" and "Where to?"
With 270 films, political voices, a lifetime honor for Michelle Yeoh, and Wim Wenders heading the jury, the festival showcases global independent cinema.
